tryed to take off my suspension this morn to put in my eibachs and kybs and well, i friggin broke a torque wrench. WHY THE HECK does nissan put the damn bolts in so friggin tight. I dont have ne air tools avil. to me today and well right now im just screwed. ne help is appreciated.

 

how the heck are the front blots soposed to come off


on the drivers side the front bolt, does it go up or down? im thinking it goes up??????

 

rightsy tightsy, lefty loosy

 

how did u break the torque wrench.

Use a half inch drive socket wrench.
On the other side use an open ended wrench.

Get on the floor and put your feet on the fender. Use youre feet for suppert and Pull with all your might.

If all else fails.....go to pep boys and just have them loosen it.

Thats what I did the first time.,
Now I have air tools =]

What also works.. If you can go to home depot and rent an electric Impact Wrench.
Or buy and return... Same thing =]

 

interesting.. I also mysteriously aquired air tools after screwing up on my suspension...

 

Time to get a impact wrench

 

It finally came off!!!! and yeah i bent another wrench...lol


ok now back to work

 

If you don't want to go with impact wrenches, try buying a breaker bar - it's basically a long, solid metal handle for sockets (usually 1/2"). So far that's taken off anything I've found on my Max (well, that and some cursing... )

 

well guys ive got the front on right now, ill post pics tonight, as for the rear im taking a break before i get to that...hehe. the bolts finaly came off useing my breaker bar that took me a hour to find!

 

You arent supposed to remove bolts with a torque wrench. Thats what a breaker bar is for.

 

Damn. You beat me to it. Just what I was gonna say.

 

Pulling with all your might? Might wanna just trying tapping or banking the handle to get it loose otherwise you might use too much force and strip the bolt....oh and yes use a breaker bar.
